12,691. MANDALAY

MANDALAY
The little trailer that says 
'The Ranch,' funny enough,
has cut down its fir trees. 
They were nice touches, at 
the corner, to at least give
a semblance of something
to Hiram's. Now they are 
not  -  though this funny
little trailer still lays claim
to 'The Ranch.' There's a
truck always there now,
across the way, that say,
'Avenel Paving.' Yuck.
-
What's the average life-span
of a junkyard, I want to know.
There must be someone who
keeps those records. The ones
right here have been here 60
years, and more, that I know
of. Weird how it seems that
nothing ever moves but when
you look in all the cars or new,
or recent anyway. What else
can they do, I wonder, with
all that burned ground, tarred
and patched with oils and gas.
Can't build a garden on the
Devils ass.
